Titan Poker
Titan Poker is the leading poker room in the iPoker network, one of the largest poker networks in Europe. Having seen their player traffic drop significantly after changes in US policies forced them to ban US customers, Titan has successfully rebuilt its player base with some great bonuses and promotions, huge cash tournaments, and a multi-lingual interface that supports over a dozen languages.
These days Titan Poker’s player volume is back amongst some of the best in the industry. Real-money player statistics show up to 10,000 ring-game players and 55,000 tournament players at peak hours (April 2009).
Titan Poker is run on Playtech software, one of the most respected names in the industry for casino and gaming software. The client interface is colorful and engaging, graphics are excellent, games run quickly and any glitches have long been resolved. A rooms lobby is important, and Playtech has done a great job at Titan Poker, with a clean and easy to navigate design. Players can instantly access hand histories, their buddy list, player notes and multi-table functionality is supported.
Game variety is respectable, with all variations of Texas Holdem available all limit levels, Omaha, 7-Card Stud and 5-Card Stud are also present at the fixed limit and pot-limit levels. Popular casino games such as BlackJack, video poker, three card poker, Caribbean poker, craps, roulette and slots are also available.
If you’re looking for tournaments, Titan Poker hosts plenty of regular scheduled tournaments, satellites, freerolls and their flagship $2.5 Million Dollar European Championship of Online Poker (ECOOP) is one of the biggest in the industry. Titan also doesn’t do the celebrity endorsement thing; instead they send tons of their regular players to represent them at some of the biggest tournaments around the world including the WPT and WSP.
Plenty of casino players fine their way through the network making for a good pool of easy and loose games. However, beware of some of the pro players grinding out their bonuses, as they can make for some tight and costly competition. Regular and heavy traffic flows around the $0.02/$0.04 and all the way up to $2/$4 limits, but higher stakes competition is abundant as well. Omaha games are tighter than some of the other rooms, given the large European presence in the rooms.
Customer service at Titan Poker is excellent and has received some serious props from the industry. They were the recipients of the 2006, 2007 and 2008 Best Online Poker Customer Support award from Gambling Online Magazine. Players can access help 24/7 via live chat from within the software, telephone support, and email support.
Titan Poker has made an impressive recovery from their US setbacks, and now has a much more diversified player base as a result of it. As they’re still working on expanding their player base it’s a great place to find larger deposit bonuses and promotional offers. It is also a great site for newer poker players still learning to play, as they offer some great low limit games and the competition is softer than most.
